Sufficient air exchange?
    #5280276 - 02/09/06 01:14 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I just bought a cool mist humidifier and I was wondering if it was capable of providing sufficient air exchange for three 66qt containers with 8 cakes in each. Since cool mists don't give off that much humidity should I add a layer of perlite to absorb what it does give off? I also have a ultra sonic but I think perlite may do the trick.

it will be enough air exchange. provide exhaust points stuffed with polyfil.

experiment to see whether you prefer perlite or an ultrasonic and which is easiest for you.

Yes, your coolmist should supply plenty of FAE for 3 tubs. Perlite alone should raise your RH to 95%+ by itself. Just layer it 2" deep, with 1" of water/H2O2. Your coolmist's sole purpose is air exchange in this instance. Kilgore's right about the holes. Just stuff them with polyester fiberfill, or cover with micropore tape. You will not need your ultrasonic. Save it for a good Martha setup. :wink:

Thanks, I wanted to make sure it would be enough before I tried it.
